Too bad - an unforced error by Felder. Given how problematic Dempsey is, I would not support Felder to remain superintendent (not sure she wants to stay anyway). Whomever takes over will hopefully re-retire LD.

The arrogance within MCPS to just thumb their nose at things like this baffles me. Same way the BOE didn't care when many people freaked out about Felder's spotty track record when she was announced as Interim Sup. They just don't care.

I think the BOE cares. They probably didn't have a lot of choices, under the age of 80, who were immediately available to take over after McKnight. But Felder's decision-making, to hold onto bad apples such as Lance, should be cause for concern and tips her as someone who is choosing expediency over quality, because Felder thinks this brings stability to the system. Dr. Felder, it does not bring stability. You have no idea how bad this person is, clearly.

One has to wonder about the advice she is getting from senior leadership.

I guess Dr. Johnson isn't aware of LD's overall management approach. Wow.

He is just as bad. I was a new teacher when he was principal at Northwood and he was a huge bully, made people cry and put people he didn't like on PAR. He was a high school principal pal of Lance.

I am sorry to hear this. He seemed like a good person to me, but people can have many outward appearances depending on who they are talking to. Damn.

Considering moving out of state because it’s been such a nightmare- especially with one kid in special Ed.

You should definitely get out of MCPS - you have a child with SN and MCPS will not provide appropriate services.

+1. There are MUCH better districts in the DMV.

He is just as bad. I was a new teacher when he was principal at Northwood and he was a huge bully, made people cry and put people he didn't like on PAR. He was a high school principal pal of Lance.

Is there any documented evidence of this or just more anonymous complaints and gossip?
